An ethnographic study is used to explore activities carried out by industrial scientists to successfully develop their software. The extremely rich data set that resulted helps paint a picture of their development context. Apparent are the mismatches between software development methods commonly described by the software engineering community and the practices successfully used by the industrial scientists. Instead of following any type of prescribed method, the scientists follow what has been described as an amethodical approach to software development. Acceptance of the validity of this approach could provide an important alternative to how we currently view software development.
